Be a “Prepper”

What's a "prepper"?

For us, a prepper is being a proactive planner. Someone who is #UICReady for whatever life throws at them!

From building an emergency evacuation “go-bag” for your pet, to planning for a financial emergency, you’ve come to the right place for a curated, ongoing, growing list of handy prepper resources and links from all over the web.

At OPR  (that’s the Office of Preparedness and Response, in case you missed it), we are always on the look-out for practical tips, cheat sheets, and easy-to-follow guides on how to prepare for (and deal with) minor emergencies, inconvenient utility failures, and other day-to-day disruptions made worse due to a lack of planning. #becauselife.
